Fedora Won't Load After Logo

Hi,

I have a Fedora 21 system, but I would like to update it using repos from Fedora Core 4.

I have found this article - How to Use YUM in Fedora Core 4 - that allows changes to be made to the yum settings, so that you can run yum on Fedora 4.

Is it possible to setup Fedora 21 to point at this repository over the normal one?

I realise that this is not good practice, but I would like to test out a theory to see if this will work.

hello all
I already have fedora 14 32bit and I install it on vmwear in order to install ns2.35allinone but when I follow the steps I got the following error in the first step

[fedora@localhost ~]$ su
Password:
[root@localhost fedora]# yum install autoconf
Loaded plugins: langpacks, presto, refresh-packagekit
Adding en_US to language list
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. Please verify its path and try again
[root@localhost fedora]#


and I read many post to solve this problem and as I understand from it fedora 14 is now unsupported. so please if you can help me to fix this problem or post any url to download the last version of fedora in order to install ns2.35allinone to run zrp protocol.

thanks a lot

Hi all,

I have a strange request. I have a system running Fedora 21. This system is now not connected to the internet (for security reasons).

I have used the " yum downgrade bash " command to revert back to version 4.3.30, but I am still receiving compilation errors in some code (which I have rescued from a Fedora Core 4 installation [don't ask!!]).

Is it possible to download the source for Bash version 3, compile and install it to test it on my Fedora 21 installation?

If so, could someone help me please, as this is something I have never tried before?

Thanks in advance for any help.

hey guys, I need help with yum install system-config-kickstart.
Ive try running this in terminal with root and user. nothing seems to work.
I got a message:
Loaded plugins: presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: Cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora.
Please verify its path and try again.

Guys I'm new to Linux. What should I do?

Hello I am a newbie to this forum and Linux. Thank you ahead of time for your advice, constructive criticism and sharing.
Fedora 15
I enter following command> yum install-gnome-tweak-tool

The result is >cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora. please verify its path and try again.

I dont know how to get to the repo to fix it. In the files i need to remove an s from HTTPSS... We did it in class but i want to learn for myself.

Hi.
I am completely new in Linux and I'm trying to learn as much as I can while doing my job.

I am following directions from a wi-fi card vendor. In it, they require to download Fedora 13 to the laptop, which I have already done so. uname -a displays:
Linux localhost.localdomain 2.6.33.3-85.fc13.i868.PAE #1.

The directions ask to update the kernel with "yum install kernel-PAE". While connected to the internet, when I type that, the following error comes up:
Loaded plugin : presto, refresh-packagekit
Error: cannot retrieve repository metadata (repomd.xml) for repository: fedora
Please verify its path and try again

What does it mean and what file do I need to update with the right path? Please, let me know what other information you need.
Thank you very much

I'm considering switching from Linux Mint 13 to a RedHat based distro. I was thinking Fedora, but am open to any suggestions.

I've been using LM for quite a while now and just want a change. I'm not overly happy with things.

I'm curious if there is a way that I can image my current installation, so if I install Fedora (or something else) and something goes drastically wrong that I can be back up and running withing a very short period of time as if nothing happened.

I am going to attempt to dual boot both fedora 17 and fedora 21, as my printer can print from FC17 but not from FC21 - posted about this issue in the hardware forum.

I am rather surprised at the level of competence of people posting here, even though it says newbie forum - so I think that this is possibly where I belong too.

I have set up grub to see my fedora 17 kernel - the only problem is, that the root filesystem needs to belong to the fedora 17 kernel as opposed to the fedora 21 kernel. I can't see myself changing fc 21's fstab to have the old lv root device mounted - as /etc belongs to the root partition of fc 21.

I did change the device to reflect the old kernel's root lv partition in the /etc/fstab (fc17), but this doesn't seem to do it.

Does someone know what I am missing?

I am new to LINUX and am trying to install Fedora 20 on an ACER Aspire Z5600, the specs are as follows : Pentium Dual Core 64-bit 2.7 GHz processor, 3 GB RAM and well over 100 GB of free HDD space.
When it starts I get the message: not enough memory to load image.
Not sure what the problem is.

What I need:
Linux Fedora Live CD
I also need Linux Fedora 21 (x64)
I have:
DUALBOOT.odt
i also have Windows 7 (x64)
That is why I need, "Linux Fedora Live CD"
So that I can setup dual Boot
